VA Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) Independent Living Assessment Request

A VA VR&E Independent Living Assessment Request is a form used by severely disabled veterans who may not be able to work. Key features include:

1. Veteran’s personal and service information

2. Nature and extent of service-connected disabilities

3. Current living situation and daily challenges

4. Goals for increased independence

5. Types of assistance needed (home modifications, adaptive equipment, etc.)

This form is used to request an assessment for the Independent Living program within VR&E. It helps the VA evaluate the veteran’s needs for services to increase their ability to live independently. The form is crucial for severely disabled veterans who may not be able to return to work but need support to improve their quality of life and independence. It initiates the process of developing a personalized independent living plan, which may include home modifications, adaptive equipment, and other services to enhance the veteran’s ability to live as independently as possible.
